Team News

Wolfsburg
Mainz
  • Kilian Fischer is struggling with a thigh injury, Paulo Otávio is ruled out with an ankle problem, while Micky van de Ven is out through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow last weekend.
  • Lukas Nmecha is struggling with a knee problem and may not play again this season, while Bartol Franjic is struggling with a muscle injury, and Kevin Parades is out with a thigh injury.
  • Key man Jonathan Burkardt will only return in the summer after a knee operation, but otherwise coach Bo Svensson has a full-strength and in-form squad at his disposal.

Prediction

  • Two sides meet with European qualification on their minds.
  • Mainz beat champions Bayern for the third straight season at home last weekend and remain unbeaten in 10 games with six wins rocketing them up the table.
  • Wolves goalkeeper Koen Casteels has kept a joint league best 11 clean sheets for the Wolves who won the reverse fixture 3-0.
  • We should see goals at both ends with the Wolves hunting down the three points to boost their European qualification hopes.
